what you feel is what you are

and what you are is beautiful.

I have been struggling for almost three months, since I made this photo, and even before then, to make a photograph with which I am truly satisfied. I can't begin to explain how awesome it is to post th is photo and feel so proud.

This shot was inspired by Utata's Me and My Camera project... it just took me a while to incubate the idea. It is a sort of follow up to this photograph, from last summer. Same photographer, same prop camera. New studio, new home, new country.. me, one year later.
